Before You Met Me

Before You Met Me - Elle King

Lyrics by：Tofer Brown/Margaret McRee/Lauren Hungate

Composed by：Tofer Brown/Margaret McRee/Lauren Hungate

You say I'm the kinda girl who makes you finally settle down

Put a down payment on a little white house

Mama's gonna love me front row every Sunday kinda Christian

No cussin'

Tell me I'm the reason that you cleaned up your act

Wouldn't have a future if I knew your past

Biggest regret is that you wish you would've met me sooner

But if you knew her

I was a train wreck hot mess too many cigarettes

Bangin' with some d**g store lipstick

I was a weeknight drinker karaoke singer

Top of every preacher's prayer list

The way I used to be I can guarantee

Two weeks in you would've left me

Lookin' at the old me anythin' but holy

Glad you didn't know me before you met me

I would've chewed you up and I would've spit you out

One-night mistake that you tell your friends about

Time was on my side we'd have ended before we even started

Back when

I was a train wreck hot mess too many cigarettes

Bangin' with some d**g store lipstick

I was a weeknight drinker karaoke singer

Top of every preacher's prayer list

The way I used to be I can guarantee

Two weeks in you would've left me

Lookin' at the old me anythin' but holy

Glad you didn't know me before you met me

Didn't know no better wasn't thinkin' 'bout forever

Didn't know myself before you met me

I was a train wreck hot mess too many cigarettes

Bangin' with some d**g store lipstick

I was a weeknight drinker karaoke singer

Top of every preacher's prayer list

The way I used to be I can guarantee

Two weeks in you would've left me

Lookin' at the old me anythin' but holy

Glad you didn't know me before you met me

Before you met me
